Under Armour Follows Through

I love when you see a brand follow through on not only its own marketing, but its intentions as well.

Back in December, I wrote a blog post about the amazing work from Under Armour with Misty Copeland in "I Will What I Want." Click here to give it a read.

To me, this piece of film was a work of art, a salute to incredible bravery and determination, and a rebranding of two brands...Misty Copeland and Under Armour. Well, maybe not a rebranding but an evolution of two brands.

You can take a look at the video here:
